on getting a win on his 17th anniversary in charge...


It was better than any cake but the first half was quite difficult, Swansea played well, they were sharper than us. 

We didn't play with enough purpose and they won many duels. In the second half we played in a more compact way and took advantage of every time we won the ball to be dangerous. 

We have seen a different Arsenal that is much more clinical and playing with much more purpose. We hung on a little bit in the last 15 minutes and they came back to 2-1 but overall I felt we deserved to win the game.

on being more clinical this season…

First of all that's linked with young players who improve naturally in the final pass. We have added Ozil who can give a good ball in the final third and at the moment we have more confidence as well.


on Ramsey's improvement…

Drilled home: Aaron Ramsey rifled in the second goal from close range as Arsenal doubled their leadAaron Ramsey is a young boy and today Ramsey scored and Gnabry scored. Their combined age is 40 years old.
On target: Gnabry celebrates scoring his first Premier League goal for Arsenal

on the other surprising results in the Premier League…

It came as a surprise but it added a bit more pressure because you always feel guilty if you have an opportunity to solidify your position and you don't' take it and I think it's part of a team as well during the season to grab the chance when you have it.
Artist: But Mesut Ozil was not at his best as Arsenal won the game

on being eight points clear of Man United…

Yes but it's still an early stage and let's not forget we were in a massive crisis after the first game.


on Gnabry…

He is surprising. He has the talent but the personality on the pitch as well. He doesn't look timid, he looks to play with belief and of course talent. Unfortunately he is another player for Germany, he's not English.
Happy days: Arsenal youngster Serge Gnabry celebrates after breaking the deadlock at the Liberty Stadium

on Gnabry's age when he started at Arsenal…

He was one year old. I can't believe it. Now I have some players in my squad who were not born when I arrived at Arsenal.
